Bookmarking is a very useful and well used feature for organising web links within a web browser. This is usually a personal feature for a single user on a single computer or login, the sites mentioned here turn bookmarking into a collaborative process that allows for the sharing of that information through any computer anywhere in the world. By storing bookmarks online they are not lost if your own computer experiences technical issues.
Delicious is a social bookmarking site that allows groups such as a faculty, grade level or whole school to collate and store collections of bookmarks for student use. In this example all members of the Science faculty have the sign in details and can save or edit appropriate course related sites which are tagged according to class. Any students can view the bookmarks which can be sorted by tag, date or alphabetically. Delicious may not be the most feature rich site of this type but its simplicity of use gets my top rating. It also has the ability to create a network with other delicious users.
